Oh that is superb. Obviously had to be both 1/72 and from Germany to be of this quality. So true to the famous painting.

It has always surprised me that this is not more often seen, by the manufacturers, as a superb diorama, in any scale. Perrys gave us taking of eagles and of a KGL flag in their limited vignette range,

If one moment was pivotal to outcome in the Cent Jours, this incident must be a strong contender. Blucher dead or a prisoner, would his successor have marched east or west from Wavre (if there at all)? No Plancenoit, then no Waterloo disaster for Napoleon.

There were so many what if in this, the most famous of campaigns and you are right, this is one of them.

However, the disobedience of a direct order from his majesty to crush Bluchers flank by D'Erlon as the Ligny action evolved must be pivotal. The annilation of one or two Korps rather than just being battered would have left the Duke on his own.

Oh true, but that was not a matter of an instant in time and not something that can be modelled as such. One could maybe model Grouchy eating his fruit for breakfast, whilst everyone is berating him……or even less impressive Ney sitting around all morning, instead of clearing Quatre Bras.

What your model shows is an instant that changed everything.I have often wondered how to do it in 28mm……

With your photographic skills and more cavalry in the background this would be prize winning

Hussey shows quite persuasively that had the Prussians retreated east, Wellington would have had to fall back on Antwerp. He simply did not have the sea lift capability required to support a line of communications routed through northwest Germany, which would have been four times longer than the route he was using. Nor could he have assumed the Netherlands would remain loyal to the allies so nowhere nearer could have been relied on.

Ligny and Wavre show quite persuasively that had Wellington not been to the west, Blucher's army would have been eliminated on day 2 or day 3 of the campaign.
